Card Sketch

Hello friends! Are you ready for another Paper Craft Crew Challenge?

This is a great card sketch. It is a great go-to layout with a lot of possibilities. I just got some new goodies from Stampin’ Up! that I was ready to get creative with. And immediately knew what I wanted to do with this sketch.

I love the cut out tree from the Pine Woods dies. It’s hard to see, but the Old Olive layer beneath the white oval has been embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The card base is sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink for a subtle shadow.

Texture can go along way to step up a card design. There is a lot of texture on this simple card. I love die cut words, and the Joy die cut is a fun greeting for this layout.

Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and check out the rest of the inspiration from the PCC Design Team!

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for the next Paper Craft Crew Challenge! Each Week, PCC issues a new challenge to inspire your creativity. The design team kicks things off to offer up some inspiration for you. This week it is a fun vertical layout.

I am trying to hold on to summer, so I went with a bright, summer fruit for my card using the Cute Fruit stamp set. I have to say the color scheme is inspired by my daughter Rachel’s bedroom. And the pineapple is a nod to her FAVORITE tv show (and one of mine) Psych.

I used the rock and roll technique on the pineapple base to get the two tone look. To make the pineapple stand out a bit more I used my black Stampin’ Write marker to color the edges of the cut out pineapple.

I can see so many possibilities with this sketch. I will definitely be using this one again. Why don’t you try it out for yourself. Then head over to the Paper Craft Crew and link your creation to share with us. I’d love to see what you create.

Wow, is it time for another Paper Craft Crew challenge already? That week flew by. Wait, I know why…We spent the week at a cabin in Northern Minnesota. It was very relaxing and good to get away for a bit.

It is good to get back in my studio though. And a PCC challenge is a great way to get the creative juices flowing again. This week’s challenge is a horizontal card sketch.

When I saw the three red strips, I knew I had to use sentiments from the new Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper in the 2020 Aug-Jan mini catalog. This paper is so much fun. I didn’t do any stamping on this card. The paper get the whole stage this time.

I fussy cut the house and tree out from one of the DSP prints and the sentiments from another. The sentiments are in several different languages. So much fun!

So, there it is. My first Christmas card of the season. I don’t even want to think about cold weather. I am definitely a summer girl.

Hello friends! Are you ready for a challenge? A Paper Craft Crew Challenge that is! This PCC has a vertical card sketch to jump start your creativity.

For my card, I did try to work with triangles, but I really wasn’t happy with anything I came up with. So, I decided to go for something else. I die cut some flowers from the Poppy Moments die set from Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo. Then I used Polka Dot stencil to create a fun background to show off the beautiful flowers. I love black and white polka dots!

I extended the strip across the full length of the card front. I felt it grounded the images more. and, I like the two rhinestone gems on the right. I think I need to make a bunch of these in different color combos!

Head over to the Paper Craft Crew blog to see all of the fabulous creations from the PCC Design Team. We’d love to have you play along!

Welcome friends! I am so glad you are here for another Paper Craft Crew Challenge. I am having a lot of fun with these challenges! They are great for sparking creativity. You should give it a try!

This week is another sketch challenge.

I have to admit, I stared at this one for quite awhile before I figured out what I wanted to do. Here is what I came up with:

I used Oh, Snap set from Concord & 9th. Isn’t that camera adorable! There is a bit of extra fun in this interactive card. You can’t have an instant camera with out an instant print!

Such a fun card with an unexpected element. Great to let a friend know how beautiful they are!

Hello crafty friends! Let’s kick off July with a fun sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew!

What a great sketch! So many possibilities for shapes in the corner. I like all of the detail in the corner, so I decided to stay pretty true to the sketch.

I started with a sheet of Canson Bristol Smooth paper. It is water friendly, so it was easy to add the watercolor wash swatches. I was kind of feeling a neon groove, so I used Granny Apple Green, Magenta madness and Bermuda Bay. Once it was fully dry, I added some spatters with my black marker. The sentiment, from the new Best Year stamp set, is embossed in white on black card stock and punched out with the new Postage punch from Stampin’ up!

A fun bright way to cheer for someone. I’d love to see your take on this sketch. Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and play along! You’ve got two weeks to join in for this challenge, so give it a try!

Time for this week’s challenge from the Paper Craft Crew! We have another great card sketch to inspire your creativity.

I decided to play with some of the new In colors from Stampin’ Up! – Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee – and the new Tasteful Touches stamp set.

I love the softness of the flower and feather images against the different geometric patterns. Be sure to head over to the Papercraft Crew blog and check out the rest of the Design team’s project and then take part in the challenge yourself!

Hello crafty friends! Do you ever feel like your creativity has run off no where to be found? I think we all have those moments. Playing along with a challenge is a fun way to get things flowing. Speaking of a challenge…

Paper Craft Crew Challenges has a new challenge out. This week it’s a fun sketch to work with.

Card sketches are a great way to jumpstart your creativity. You can create the sketch exactly as it is, or use it a starting point and let your creativity take over. Here is my take on this sketch.

I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers set. The flower is colored with Stampin’ Blends markers. This card also uses two of the new In Colors the three little enamel dots are Bumble Bee – a gorgeous yellow, and the scalloped frame is Misty Moonlight – a lovely blue. I really like this sentiment. It could be used for many occasions, but I think it is a great way to wish someone a Happy Birthday!

I hope you will join in and play along with this fun sketch. Then head over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and link your card to share with the crew.

Hello friends! I have had a nice stretch in my craft studio and boy has it felt good. Sometimes the ideas are really flowing and other times I just don’t know what to make. When that happens, I like to check out some challenge blogs for inspiration. This week I found a fun sketch at TGIF Challenges and decided to have a go with it.

This sketch is a great way to use up some DSP scraps. I really liked the layout, so I stayed pretty true to it. I just extended the horizontal piece across the entire card.

I love the softness of the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper – Pool Party, Petal Pink with a touch of Champagne Foil. This sentiment from So Sentimental works for a variety of occasions. Of course I had to add some Champagne Rhinestones! It is hard to see in the photo, but the white layer is embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder. Here is a closer look:

Go check out the fun at TGIF Challenges and play along! The TGIF design team is ridiculously talented. You are sure to be inspired.
